Yi Fei agrees to help her with her report. He first compares it to his own analysis and her report gives him a direction to work in project. Qian Fei stays up all night perfecting it with suggestions from ‘Master’. Her friend delivers it to Ms Fang’s desk but mean girl steals it. Everybody is worried about Qian Fei finding out her bf and new gf are part of the project. She is the only one that doesn’t know. The girls get together to celebrate and this gives YiFei’s gaming buddy a break. He has been nonstop texting her to get his gear back and wants to be in her team. He is now saddled with the team’s grunt work because she was guilted into it by her friends. It is kinda sad that her friend won’t say she’s engaged and show off her ring. She does not want to flaunt her relationship when everything is in flux for Qian Fei. Yi Fei guilts Qian Fei to have the guts to turn in her report herself. So she finally gets the nerve up to hand it directly to Ms Fang. Here I think she is biased due to the photo. The first part was all about work, but the word cherish goes with relationships and usually the significant other. Her attitude is much different. She does smirk that mean girl was caught with the missing report, but at least she was smart enough to not try to pass it off as her own work. She just wanted to bury it. Ms Fang passes out Qian Fei’s report as a model for her team to get with it. Here I have misgivings about her. She is completely honest about where the report came from but rather snide about her getting laid off. This does not sound like the supervisor that wanted her on her team. Something is off. The end of the show has a board meeting where she and YiFei are part of the group and maybe we will see why he really dislikes Ms Fang. I am enjoying the interactions between the leads but I really want them to start moving Qian Fei’s character along. She is finally making progress but she needs moved past the company that fired her. There was a touching moment when they shared memories about family until Qian Fei passes out. He totes her to bed and tucks her in wondering how she can be there and then gone just like that. Haha the friend’s mom was the evil gma on Her Blaze. It is fun seeing her be a stern but much warmer character than the ice queen from last drama. I like the cast but want the business side to move faster.

The young assassin fought well but there were just too many combatants. As he passes out, another takes over. I wasn’t happy with how the fighting was shown until I learned this was Ye Li’s view of the battle. She gets the assassin to her friend for help but is caught out of the palace by Xiu Yao’s guard. The prince monitors her but goes on to the palace without saying anything. When he arrives, she is calmly sitting in her chair welcoming him home. Both of them taking turns pretending sleep.😂🙄 When the assassin wakes up he is questioned because Ye Li saw master Zhu rescue them. What he saw was her kicking ass as a sword master. This time we see the fight with clarity and Ye Li was awesome. 👏🏻This court session was the first time XiuYao revealed his naïveté in how the court truly operates. He is 100% driven to fight injustice but did not see the big picture of how a ruler views insurrection. Here the Marquis understood that ridding the capital of any rebels with attitude was the real objective. So when he used any means necessary, he was following the spirit of their command even if he benefited by handling those he had grudges against simultaneously. Both Empress Dowager and Emperor sided with the Marquis and reminded the prince it was out of his purview and he was to stick with investigation. He was soundly slapped verbally and told to mind his own business in surround sound. Xiu Yao is in a pouty mood because Ye Li has declined going out with him. His spy friend tells him a story of a woman he’s been corresponding with getting ready to arrive to visit. He points out Ye Li to Prince and teases about her not wanting out. Xiu Yao sees her outside feeding a dog and decides to follow her. What he learned was a surprise. She was making the rounds repaying the debts caused by those who tried to help Lishan. The last was his prison hire who sold his family estate and went to great length to scrape together every cent he could to help the Lishan families. The assassin has himself hired in her shop and she wants him gone. 😂He passes her a note from her physician friend and then she tells the steward to send him away.🤣😂 He somehow had both parts of her family jade and when he returned them she only accepted one. She told him to toss the other. Xiu Yao told Ye Li that a funeral was planned for JingLi even tho it was pretty clear he wasn’t really dead. This would be the official word from the palace to prevent rumors and keep things as low key as possible. The Marquis was given the job of planning a banquet for an arriving princess and he surprisingly asks for Xiu Yao to assist. This surprised both Empress dowager and son but they agreed. That night Xiu Yao wanted to offer a pet to his wife but she refused. We were just about to get the story of her bird when the episode ended. The cast continues to deliver excellent character portrayals and you are sucked into the story and captivated by the events. The production team gives us the view from Ye Li and what really occurs. The fight scenes are well done.👏🏻

🤣😂 The face mask scare was hilarious. And that rip off the face.😂🤣 Thanks to Yi Fei overloading the circuit Qian Fei comes home to a dark house. After fixing the breaker an electrician shows up because YiFei is definitely not Mr fixit. 🤣😂 She shows him how to turn breakers back on and where all the shut off valves are for appliances and water. He may or may not remember it all.😂 She works very hard to get a report ready to show her old boss and has her friend check it out. She told her she should check with a professional to see how it stacks up. Her friend gets a very cute proposal after trying to make her bf eat the ring box.😂🤣 ‘so that’s the finger it goes on.’😂🤣 These two are very sweet. 🥰 She is a top notch friend with good advice. I really dislike her willingness to make a scene when she’s lost her temper, but her sweetness in everything else balances it out. The conversation segued to mothers’ passing and that was an unexpected commonality for both of them. Qian Fei’s father sent her a picture album of all her growing up pictures and she finally fesses up that she broke up. Her dad is very understanding and just wants her to be happy. At work YiFei finds a bunch of discrepancies but knows his work partner wants him to get the backlash and her the credit. He is still deciding how to deal with the head leader of the project that will indeed take offense at the findings. Mean girl and uncle leave work and mean girl just has to circle back and make Qian Fei doubt herself. YiFei is funny knowing something is up with free dinner and finally has Qian Fei fessing up to the favor when episode ends. It seems from preview her work is not wanted by Ms Fang because she thinks Qian Fei cheated on her bf. As if. 😝After Qian Fei’s happy wife to be speech she seems to see her as a hypocrite but she really should have asked about it rather than just assume. It was so out of character that she should have wondered. 😝 YiFei tucking her in and getting his door upgraded. Bit by bit he is helping her out but acting arrogant to distract her from the kindness. I hope that Ms Fang does fail her because with mean girl and uncle to block her, even Ms Fang lacks the clout to shield her. YiFei has a much better shield for her, she just doesn’t have a clue about it yet. The cherry on top would be showing the fraud of the company her ex bf now works for. Waiting for next episode to see how things play out. I am liking how the actors interact and how the story is unfolding. It is both fun and endearing when least expected with family and friendship dynamics.

After viewing the finest pieces of celadon, it is revealed Xiu Yao is the shop owner.😂 He pleases his wife even more by giving her his shops. His spy friend is less than enthused as he was the one managing them. But he is completely on Ye Li’s side when Xiu Yao shares his secret of being able to stand and walk. He is keeping this a secret for now and keeping admittance to his quarters limited. Ye Li asks for QingShuang and Xiu Yao continues his homework about Ye Li’s background. Uncle Wen isn’t happy and has taken his trove of treasures back home refusing to see anybody. He knows most of the Ye happenings but did not see where his mother’s role was in misdeeds. I like that Ye Li met it head on and told her mother’s story and how gma came at her with a knife. He did not comment on her defending herself. In her mind, the tree that struck down gma was her mother’s doing and that karma moved the wheel of justice where family failed. I tend to agree with her and think uncle might too. She reminded him that she was also his family. After processing her news, he got down to business as to why else she had visited. It comes down to convincing the one who has the edkct to make its presence known. Ye Li knows she will be inspired by her uncle’s master, but how to get a dead man’s words to move her is still in the works. Ye Li smiles with Xiu Yao about being the hidden tiger. She doesn’t mind at all him keeping the secret of his healing and enjoys teaching him. After asking about her maid, Xiu Yao watches his wife more closely and sees her constantly talking to her. What he thought was Ye Li simply speaking aloud, was her chatting with her closest friend. He spoke to a physician how best to help Ye Li and what would cure her. He learned that in this case, there was no medicine that could ease her mind, she was manifesting the person she was closest to because of heartbreak and loneliness. Xiu Yao thinks about how she left the mountain alone and arrived at the palace alone. The doctor said that her heart must be filled with another to take the place of the one she wished with her. The prince takes this to heart and is making himself more available. I wonder if he knows of the box of unsent letters that she is constantly writing. I love that he wants to make her heart full with him.🥰❤️The one thing verified by the doctor is that other than seeing one who has passed and treating her like still there, her interactions with the living were quite normal. She just needs a living friend to ease her heart over the loss of her maid. The prince wants to be that friend for her. He finally reads the notes his friend gave him on Ye Li. His friend actually approves and tells him to take good care of his wife. The Marquis’ sons continue to spat. This episode shows the marked difference between them. Young Qin openly snubs the brother and that causes resentment. But here we see him torturing a guard made pariah and it’s solely for his amusement. He flaunts this in his brother’s face and makes it clear he was the reason Qin didn’t get the prefecture position he wanted. He is young to be so vile and deliberately cruel. At some point these two will openly fight each other and it’s unclear how the Marquis will respond. I have to feel sorry for the official who hast to keep the hostility at bay. The mother’s arrival broke up this round. I am curious which tree this one did not fall far from, mom or dad? Waiting to see what Xiu Yao’s next move will be to gain his wife’s heart.🥰

This episode has Yi Fei looking out for his gf soon ex. He makes sure she has funds to get a place if things don’t work out in Milan. Qian Fei is learning that front desk work will take more time to get worked up. She can take a huge pay cut or sign waivers that she will not get married or have children for five years. 😝🙄😬Yi Fei is seeing her struggle and offers a different route for cash. He will pay for cleaning services. He made her realize that just getting a job to pay the bills was not in her best interest career wise. 😂🤣 The reaction from his friend having all his legendary gear given away. If that doesn’t encourage him to find his own place nothing will. 😂🤣He gets very drunk and finds himself tossed to the ground by his favorite bartender. Yi Fei and colleague are trying to find out why the company is making so little progress and doing data checks twice as often by having joint sponsorshi. He is wanting to know how the competition works first so he has be deep diving into their data processing and working from home til he figures out why the numbers are the way they are. Qian Fei worries about him being depressed after breakup and his responses or lack thereof are quite funny. We are shown the ex bf at his new job with his new gf amd I can only say….who cares?😝🙄 Yi Fei is trying to prove to his dad that he can thrive on his own without ‘daddy’s’ money. He is actually quite good at what he does but Qian Fei has no clue who he really is in the corporate world and values Ms Fang a lot more. He is not happy with this comparison because he finds her lacking for reasons he has not divulged yet. Since YiFei can help her fill in money gaps by maintenance on her home she is realizing she wants to go back and try to get the team job she was offered. Her old boss was not enthused with the photo so what was once a sure bet is only a 50/50 shot now. These two look after each other while simultaneously wanting to be as far from the other as possible. 😂🤣 She cooks very well and Yi Fei shamelessly begs for food and coffee pleading ignorance at providing the labor for himself. 😝🤣He has paid for the floor damage his gf caused and has stepped in to get her venue date transferred so she can get her deposit back. She still has over 25k debt on her card and this she finds more depressing than losing her bf and job. She has been so meticulous with her finances and her wannabe mother in law has caused her serious financial hurt. That is compounded by her dad using his life’s savings to get her the apartment she wanted. She still has not fessed up to her parents yet. Wait til Yi Fei’s friend finds out his bartender crush likes the same game and has some of his legendary gear. Next episode should tell us if Qian Fei has any luck getting the job with her workplace idol, Ms Famg.

Seems grumpy white knight knows cures for monthly blues. 🤣😂 They get back to find the elevator is broken and she slowly gets helped up the stairs where they learn the elevator now works.😂🤣 They find inches of water on the floor thanks to gf’s leaving the faucet on. The battle of the mops and water ensues and eventually things are on the way to drying out. Gf comes home and gives an Urkel response….did I do that? 🤣😂🙄 Things continue to go badly for Qian Fei when she misses the elevator at work. Yi Fei’s friend learns she works in the backside of things which makes Yi Fei see how capable she is when he finds out she is the reason for the arrest that shook things up. Meangirl colleague thinks she’s going to throw coffee on Qian Fei, but again grumpy white knight rescues her and gets jacket splashed instead. It is unclear why Yi Fei has such attitude with her boss but he really thinks poorly of her. A photo of him putting a seatbelt on Qian Fei makes it look like an intimate scene in his car. This results in her getting laid off. The boss knew who had stirred things up and right when she was going to set things straight she saw the photo and opted to not. Qian Fie is unaware that the boss who favored her now no longer does. Yi Fei sees her leaving the office and wants to know if he was the reason she got fired. She doesn’t think so and absolves him from guilt. I had to grin at her response to the photo. She was angry and wanted to know what happened, but she also thought she looked damn good in the photo.😂🤣It is unclear if he convinced her about what really happened. If there was cctv nearby he could prove what happened. She is at least getting severance pay and that will hopefully get her through next mortgage payment. Yi Fei’s model gf is heading to Milan and want’s Qian Fei to break up with Yi Fei for her.🙄😝She also wants her passport. Qian Fei’s parents call and want a tour of the apartment and she gets out of that for now. She also says wedding plans are postponed and doesn’t say they broke up. Yi Fei encourages her to tell her parents because things only get worse when hid. She tells him he has his own issues and doesn’t need to worry about hers. Yi Fei offers Qian Fei a job which she flat out refuses because she believes him to be in similar straits as her and does not think him a capable boss. 😂He is surprised and says fine when the time comes she will beg him. 😝He isn’t happy about the photo and thinks his dad was responsible. His dad denied it and said Yi Fei proved himself still a child not reasonably figuring things out, but running home to dad. Yi Fei finally is told about the breakup and reason. In spite of his bravado he is sad and packs up her things. Qian Fei bribes him with breakfast so gf can pick up her stuff without running into him when episode ends. I am wanting Qian Fei to have a good day. She is the only one so far that really deserves it.

Qian Fei is told by her bf how her care of him required him to return the favor. He felt he always had to counter each act of kindness with the proper response. She shares her bday cake with her friend and goes out for drinks ending up on the curb tossing her wedding/couple picture and a drunken mess. When two men try to haul her off to a bar, Li YiFei shows up to rescue her. He isn’t happy to have bad luck tossed his way yet again and lets her sleep it off in his car. She leaves a note and some cash because she thinks it’s a driver she called being nice. At work a colleague wants her to review a report and check for missing data. When Qian Fei returns it, her colleague is chatting on the phone and the supervisor knows who really did the work. Her colleague takes her badge and fortunately she can do her side job of serving at a company banquet thanks to her friend letting her in. Here again she runs into her nemesis Li YiFei. They have words and his friend is very amused and ends up paying for her phone fee. Her best friend means well and goes to bf’s place of work and makes a scene. For me, this was over the top and not the proper way to handle things. He had already resigned so the boss told her to take her argument outside. Things take an interesting turn when Li Yi Fei’s gf pays for two years rent to share Qian Fei’s apartment. This did not go over well, but due to financial strain from both sides it is agreed they can all stay there til one side or other comes up with the cash to reimburse the other. The gf spent the bulk of his money on a designer bag which she refused to part with, so Li Yi Fei finds himself without an apartment and a car which was used as collateral. Qian Fei amuses his friend when she stops him driving away and thanks him for helping her out. He is amused and texts Yi Fel back asking about the night in the car.😂🤣 This does not go over well with the gf. There is one last interaction between Qian Fei and her bf. She is returning his stuff and tells him what the apartment cost her dad. She basically wanted him to be part of her family but as she said he was too insecure and hypocritical to think that was worth his efforts. He calmly walks away from her after saying he was relieved since she wasn’t heart broken over him. 😝She was simply smart enough to cut her losses when it was clear he would never be happy with his circumstances. His mother should have had to return her lost deposit. The venue said the deposit could not be returned and she finds herself in severe pain. The reluctant white knight is again on the scene to help her get meds. 😂 Yi Fei cannot imagine his luck getting worse and cannot fathom why they continue to cross paths and knows he is cursed every time they meet. 😂🤣

Qian Fei is a very capable investment banker that prefers staying behind the scenes with set hours. She is fully invested in her relationships and sees her best move as staying where she is career wise and being happily married to the love of her life as her primary goal. She has just bought a new apartment and turned down a very promising promotion because her bf’s mom has her convinced he is proposing. All day long she has been running into Li YiFei who turns out to be from a competitor bidding on the same contract. She is getting coffee spilled or her phone trashed whenever they collide. He wasn’t particularly rude to her until he thought it was her mission to spy on him to keep him locked out of the deal. From then on it was gloves off and he was openly antagonistic towards her. As their circumstances tossed them together, they both became more annoyed with each subsequent encounter. By the end of the day both were having fights with their bf/gf. Qian Fei bought a blazer she could barely afford for her bf’s bday to have him not show up til after midnight hiding a watch from a beautiful ‘client’ and not even having the courtesy to see what she bought for him. He thinks she and his mother are trying to trap him into marriage and unlike his faithful gf, he grabs the promotion and tosses the relationship. He is not kind about it and basically blames her for pressuring him. She needs him out of her life and I think her bestie would agree. Li YiFei is watching his girl be all clingy with another guy while he waits for her in the car. He does not give her the bag and said he was picking it up for a work colleague. He likes to look well dressed and have a nice car but he seems tired of his gf’s love of designer bags. Qian Fei has been the best of gf’s with wholehearted devotion, but her day is sadly summed up with no promotion, no help paying for apartment, topped with phone and heart broken same day. Lady watch giver can have him. 😝

It is surprising that Ye Li simply sends her gma off with good wishes. The second surprise is the step mom. There is a hidden agenda with her that we don’t know yet. Neither reveals the other’s secret and both are content with the outcome. Ye Li makes it clear she only has hard feelings for her father and she does not blame her for marrying him. Li just cautions that it might not be in her best interest, but she is free to live her life as she chooses. She even offers some kind thoughts about Rong and Ning. Ning in particular is surprised because she’s been especially mean to her and jealous she has JingLi’s attention and affection. The decree is with Qin Zheng who is a top supporter of Empress Dowager. She has a chat with the Marquis’ son and hints he should get along better with Qin. It seems these two are brothers of different mothers which adds to their competition for the Marquis’ attention. Jingli is still healing and Ning figures out he is injured. She also knows he left the Ye house which he denies because he was too drunk to be able to leave. She has no clue what his agenda is and I am sad that she is stuck with one who has no interest in her whatsoever as a wife. His friend flat out asks him why he doesn’t work with Xiu Yao and he can’t say because he covets the one he spurned. Ye Li presents Xiu Yao with a walker and asks him to try it out. The actor magnificently displays the overwhelming surprise and satisfaction of seeing the world eye to eye with those around him again. It is a very moving and poignant moment for all of them. ❤️ He has the maid’s remains identified and returned to the family and promises to follow it up with charges and punishments for those involved. This seems to satisfy Li. Their ‘walk’ together was sweet and ended up with pinwheels like children. Both are enjoying the freedom of just being. He takes off work to practice walking and shares his joy with the neighborhood children by having a stall with treats and coins for their enjoyment to share his happiness. He also wants to give happiness to Li and she chooses shopping, but when they get to town she refuses to shop in competitor’s shops and he thinks it is not beneficial to solely shop in her store. He reminds her that the coins spent would be his and not hers so she agrees. 😂🤣 She is looking through their selection of goods and wants to see the good stuff. They were reluctant until they figured out who was doing the shopping, and at episode end they were taking them to a private room for a special showing. So now I am curious what the step mom really wants from the Ye’s. What will happen when Jingli and XiuYao face off with matters other than loving the same woman? Watching affection grow between Ye Li and her Prince as he heals. 🥰And finding out why next preview shows Li heading down the mountain with the decree? 🧐

Chairman’s daughter in law has been quietly biding her time to get family company merged with Choiseong Group. The one thing that all parties agree on is that the son doesn’t have the fortitude or insight to be a true leader of a dept much less chairman of it all. Once son blabbed sis’ murder attempt, the sisters in law agreed to support each other with the port deal being returned to the in law’s company. With the hatred her dad has for the chairman, it’s pretty clear he wants to eventually take over both. What works against him is his greed. He had the documents altered with the Yulivia mines to half the expected output. Hwang and daughter revealed this to the Prime Minister and still almost lost the contract as well. Daughter came through with the right offer to seal the deal and make her dad proud. I did smile at the antacid left for the father in law but felt bad for the mine researcher getting beat up when he did not betray his employer. On the flight Casey revealed how she had to network via club scene because sandwiched between dad and siblings. She found a workaround that kept her knowledgeable and capable in handling business transactions in spite of them. Ms Kang breaks down learning how daughter in law and doc hubby has been keeping the chairman unconscious. She also learned how daughter in law tried to kill her husband. She collapses when daughter returns and fills her in on her father’s circumstances. This results in an upset at the board meeting where Casey threw her hat in the ring with the twins for chairman. Things are going to take an even uglier turn by the looks of the preview for next episode. This episode showed a father’s pride in his daughter. He is seeing her for who she is, not what he believed. Their sharing of the mom’s kimchi was a sweet event. Their mutual shock and anger at her murder attempt will unite the three even more. This show is doing an excellent job with company and family dynamics but It is unclear how they are going to mesh Hwang’s family and interests into the storyline.

999 cranes were supposed to buy freedom for Ye Li’s father. He wrote down what she valued most and the seer swapped envelopes. Either the father lacked courage to write anything or the seer did not give same envelope. With all the treachery, there is no way to know. Ye Li identified the maid via her mom’s gifted bracelet. The uncle did a lot of blustering and denial. He did assume authority to lock down the house and make sure the news did not leave to the authorities. There is the Lishan song playing and the instrument is supposedly haunted. What I am curious about is if it actually is or the wife playing along to get the truth about Ye family. Jingli is getting patched up and hiding out with the green eyed bandit. I like him much more as a capable villain than the libertine prince. He wants a show down with the Empress Dowager and his plans have yet to be revealed. The biggest surprise was the Gma’s role in everything. She hid or destroyed the Imperial decree under the guise of keeping her family honor. She killed Ye Li’s mom and wanted to kill Ye li. Ya gotta love mom’s wrath coming down on her murderer via lightning and the tree planted to protect Ye Li. Xiu Yao made a great deal of effort to keep Ye Li from murdering the gma. He used the one thing that would break through the spell of her mind, his pain needed her attention. 🥰 Jingli and bandit are in the Ye house and Xiu Yao is aware. He chooses to take his wife home and be rid of the lot of them for the night. He and guard are rather shocked when she gets up the next day like nothing had happened. She is running extra laps and starting her day off as usual. When she is told her gma has passed she wants to go to the funeral. The Prince and guard are shocked but she gave all the appropriate reasons, even tho nothing equated to the scene he saw the evening prior. Ms Wen accompanied her and after an onslaught of verbal abuse from the uncle she basically told him to shut the hell up, stand down and take it up with the court providing evidence. 👏🏻 This was a wonderful change from the distraught out of touch woman that was overcome with grief. Ye Li wants backup from her cowardly father but it isn’t coming. I wonder if the uncle we like is aware of the decree being with his family and the role his ‘dear’ mother played in Ye Li’s life. The episode ends with Ye Li having some words by her Gma’s memorial and next episode hints that Xiu Yao will be able to stand. It will be a long wait til next episode. 😭 The pacing of story keeps you on your toes figuring out fact from fiction, who is guilty of what, how intricately the web of collusion and deceit is woven, and how broad an area the net seems to go. I am hoping the old deceiver kept the edict as leverage for Ye ‘s rather than destroying it. I think this is why Ye Li showed up at the mourning ceremony. All these plans within plans keeps things very interesting.

Ye Li is diligently administering Xiu Yao’s treatment and pain meds. She is exhausted and cold so he offers her a place by him. She runs off and he shows his disappointment when she arrives with pillow in hand. 😁 He shares his nickname and gives her such an adoring face at adding him and his happiness to her to do list. She is the first in a very long while to truly care about him as a person with no agenda. 🥰 The Marquis is receiving funds from his last weapons deal and lamenting the loss of his cronies and being blamed for Huan Fang’s death. He has no way to prove his innocence. There is hatred between his young servant and son. They both by for first place in the Marquis’ eyes. It seems the Marquis has gone vegetarian at the Empress Dowager’s strong suggestion. His son tries to give the carp to the young aide who refuses to take it. The official offered to take it to calm things down but it is clear this fight is not over between the two young men. Ye Li is quite the chess player and finally Xiu Yao tries his hand at the game. He too is defeated. Her skill at avoiding the stone dish collapse hints of sword skill. She diverts his attention by claiming menial chores as the reason for callouses. This hints that when she saw master Zhu she was the one fending off the snakes. Xiu Yao keeps asking about the lack of people as her life stories seem very solitary compared to the number that should be there. She keeps changing the subject to not give direct answers to people count. Her father sees a seer about his first wife and is told she is dead. He doesn’t believe it so visits Ye Li. She makes him cut to the chase and he asks about her mother. She very calmly states she has been dead eight years. This throws off her father who had no clue. This seems odd he has no clue but he feels even more haunted now with his nightmares. Since he deserted his family, he deserves the guilt.😝The spy friend learns that Ye Li employed the assassins on their way from the temple. As the details play out it was manipulation of events to get him to trust her with his leg treatment. He was so disgusted and angry to be so well played by the wife he was beginning to love and trust. He portrayed his absolute rage so well it was palpable. She cannot defend her actions and is finally pushed to see how they looked from his eyes. He is noting the Lishan related events and has sent his spy friend to keep digging and get to all the truths. He recalls an event with his brother where he is being strongly admonished for rescuing Ye Li and her mom from the bandits. He is reprimanded for leaving his post and that things played out as they did because he left. The empress Dowager has summoned Xiu Yao to the palace. She is irate that a trustworthy good official was killed. She has given Yuan Fang’s case to him and he is told to find out who killed him. No matter who it turned out to be she wanted them held accountable. It is not viewed as a bad thing by his colleagues so they embrace the new task. It is Ms Ye’s bday and ye Li and uncle are heading for the festivities. Xiu Yao has not accompanied her and it is not clear if he will go or not tho gifts had been prepared. Ye Li’s uncle tries to give pointers about keeping the peace in marriage. She responds that he takes others’ experiences to pass along as his own and is this what he learned from his Lishan mentor?😝 On the way Ye Li sees a scene with a distraught mother and stops the carriage. She gets out and recalls a scene with her mom striving to get the decree to save the prince. We do not have any confirmation if it still exists or was destroyed, but we can all hope with her it is yet to be found tho posthumously for the prince. Lots of emotions for our couple in this episode. Ye Li plots as well as she breathes and Xiu Yao is now aware of it. I hope he can set aside their differences to continue his leg treatments. She is having to accept the her plot to get him to accept them, may be the very thing that causes it to fail. Waiting to see if we get a peek at the Ye bday celebration and how Yuan Fang’s murder investigation goes.

This episode has the twins in a battle for GF Solutions. The son wants it only because his sister does. She has played dirty and cut off the company’s ability to get loans so she can get it at rock bottom price. Hwang enters the fight with daughter and they plot together with GF Solutions’ CEO to get the buying price up to 300 million. Hwang was caught racing the chairman’s car and was interrogated by eldest daughter. He manages to convince her after stomping his $100k watch.😂🤣 His aide was a harder sell and ultimately he convinced him his soul was swapped. This will make things smoother when getting things moved around within the company. I enjoyed him straightening out those two grandson brats about mistreating Gma. She was taking it in stride but this disciplining was long overdo. The GF Solutions’ CEO went along with their plan tho reluctantly parted with 30% of his company’s stock. His son keeps dealing with his father in law and it’s real clear to everybody but him that it’s not going to end well. Both twins get reckless in how they get funds for the company, but with a last minute sneaky swap Hwang gets the company sold to evil twin sister. She has bargained that if she gets to be chairman Hwang will get 1% of her C&T stocks. I am disappointed that the chairman pushed off Hwang’s gma. He should make more effort to act like the young man who’s body he’s taken over. The son has revealed to his wife that his twin tried to kill the chairman. While Hwang , daughter and leader are flying off to get lithium rights the chairman’s body may now be in danger. The story continues to go at a good pace and the only thing truly disappointing is the shuffling off of the gma with dementia. Since they made her so important in Hwang’s life this tangent of story should be treated better.

This episode gives us the tragic life of Jing Li. He was set up to take the fall for Empress Dowager since his fateful trip home due to Gpa’s illness. The Marquis had Lishan set up and destroyed en masse the loyalists to Emperor at the palace. He arrived home with no family or support. Jing Li was immediately under house arrest for three years while the Emoress Dowager gave up in gaining the throne directly and putting her son there instead. The Marquis tortured Jing Li as a boy to give up the names of the Lishan scholars so that the Marquis could have them killed. This even included a boy his own age. These souls are what Ye Ling can never forgive. His servant gives him straws to grasp but there is no chance she will change her mind. This false hope has him on a tangent to gain the throne by his own means. He starts off killing Yuan Feng who was a chief advisor and confidante to the Empress Dowager. He was chief investigator of the weapon smuggling case and intended to prove the Marquis guilty when Jing Li killed him. He was a good man and another righteous soul added to Jing Li’s list of innocents. What this evil deed accomplished was put a chunk in the Marquis’ armor and a bur for the Empress to not forgive. They have reached a point of contension with this that dims his grievances with Xiu Yao in comparison. It is unclear why the Empress Dowager favors him, but for now this keeps him safe while the Marquis is expected to find the real killer or accept the blame for the crime. I don’t really know how to feel about the tragic Prince. He was caught in a web of deceit and blood that damns him with no escape. It is also unclear why Ying was tossed into it with him. She has now seen the role he must play for the palace and refuses to play along. There is still decency in him because he rescues her and shows regret for accepting a wedding he should not have. The bodies are racking up around him and his plans aren’t revealed yet, just that he has chosen this course and plans to see it to the end. Is Zhu one that has been dead? Fei Bei asks her again if she was sure that’s who saved her from the snakes. Like Xiu Yao did with the monkeys, he will continue a search where he doesn’t expect to find anyone. He has an unexpected skill as an orthopedist. Ye Li has come to him to rebreak Xiu Yao’s legs and reset them so he can heal. I am glad they did not try to show this. He has already endured long needles and med regimen and this is the toughest stage of his planned procedure. He must endure the rebreaking of the bones before he can heal. He is well aware that any missteps could result in permanent paralysis but chooses to take the risk. The trust in his eyes as he looks at her🥰 They are exquisite as a pair and their flaws just accentuate there complementary natures and abilities. It is still a mystery why the Empress Dowager made them a pair, but it was a perfect choice. There are still too many schemes and now Jing Li is added to the mix. But there does seem to be a coordinated effort, even if by accident, to undo the Marquis’ machinations and reveal him for the wretch that he is. He has lost four of his most loyal cronies, so that is definitely a step in the right direction. I am hoping they don’t drag out the recuperation of Xiu Yao and get him back on his feet soon.

At long last both managers from Mat Story company were vindicated and no longer fall guys for the company. Director Choi’s hide out at the cow farm revealed its hiding place of fraud thanks to the bathroom tile mishap of second son. Mr Bae is an interesting character. He was happy to see Choi gone, but had no evidence been found, would he have had the third factory built? I do have to wonder. Seong proved the farmland was perfect for their cabbage and the new factory plan stalled. Seong and family returned to Seoul where he had the perfect director’s office and the perfect home for his family. He was seen as a rising star in the company. The mom who has annoyed me every episode but this one….finally spoke up at a ladies gathering wondering if her family needed to waste their time watching others sing and dance. The family collectively makes the choice to return to the village and embrace the rural farming life. The scammers were caught and now Ms Choi completely freed from that experience. She is teaching the village ladies how to add hash tags and post.😂🤣 Bo Mi and eldest son are dating and he is working at a restaurant startup with future plans for his own place that he will name Spring. 🥰😁 The villagers welcome them to their community and have a ceremony to bless the land and harvests. He has decided to grow their second best crop….chili peppers. This story was cheesy and a bit far fetched, but it brought together nicely family issues we all address as life changes and kids grow up. The importance of community and appreciating the life we choose. There really isn’t a wrong choice of city or country…it’s being content in the choice and direction. For the Seong family….the village gave them extended family and purpose. It is experiencing life through the land rather than continual steps up with no end in sight. Instead of continuous competition, they opted to work as a unit to make all their lives better and happier. They are reaping what they sowed and basking in the sunshine and warmth of community. Happy farming Seong family.😁
